"The special early childhood edition of Giving Forum
not only was a valuable educational opportunity to learn about current field
research, critical trends and promising strategies but also shined a spotlight
on the diverse perspectives of community leaders advocating for greater
investment. We appreciate MCF's willingness to work with us as a team to further
our goal of increasing support and opportunities for young children and their
families."
— Amy Crawford, Executive Director of The Jay and Rose Phillips Family
Foundation, and Steering Committee Member, Early Childhood Funders Network
